Advisement - All Journalism students who plan to attend CSUN
during the fall 2012 semester must see their advisers for academic counseling
during the advisement period, which will begin on March 5, 2012. Students
will not be cleared for registration until the department has the counseling form
on file. Advisers’ office hours are available on the table outside the
Journalism Department office. The Journalism Department does not make
appointments, so plan to see your adviser during his or her office hours. Pick
up your advisement form and file in the department office (MZ 210) before
seeing your adviser. Once advisement has been completed, both the advisement
form and file must be returned to the office. If needed, you should also obtain
the needed instructors’ signatures for any restricted classes. Advisement ends
on April 20, 2012.

LASH - Effective Fall 2012 the following courses will not count
toward credit for the degree: POLS 447A – Media & Politics, ART 496PM
– Photography in Motion. Upon review, these courses were found to be
too similar to journalism courses and therefore cannot be taken toward LASH
credit and will not count toward the 120 units needed for the degree.

Fall 2012 Graduation –The deadline to apply for fall 2012 graduation is
March 2. Thereafter, a late fee of $10 will be assessed.
